Can't wait to try them!
kinda dissapointed, half-elf isn't something to be so excited for. Maybe half-orc
Also, anyone any idea if the races will pe F2P or P2P? My bet is on the latter.
Actually im surprised they're going to add half-elf instead of something more... cool
Half-orc is great - community asked for them waaaay before the game went F2P
But half-elf? Meh...
Still, pretty excited
I don't know, I've always enjoyed playing half-elves in traditional fantasy settings, if the option is available. It really has more to do with the role play of a particular character than with the aesthetic choices, though, and I'll agree that half-elf modeling is going to look pretty much as anyone would expect. Still, nice to have the option available, especially in a D&D game.

Now we are missing the Gnomes to punt at.
Honestly, I rather see the Shifters (an Eberron specific race), but I think if they do they might just go with the Druids as well.
This have been a good conversation
Pelf lite and dumb grunt aren't that exciting, Shifter and Doppler would have been prefered.
Lost my mind, now trying to lose yours...
I agree that half elf is truly a role playing aspect and will be completely useless in DDO... half orc I can see.
What DDO needs is more F2P content so people will stop having to do the same tired dungeons over and over again. I have bought several P2P dungeons but cna never find anyone to do them.
Let's update the game by putting in a whole new starting area that would make playing these new races exciting. I would hate to have to go through misery peak ever again.
So, I'd guess that these races are restricted for VIPs/Premium users?
Probably.
Anyway half orc seems pretty cool
But half-elf? really...we do not need more elves!!!
March on! - Lets Invade Pekopon
a half elf and half orc that is awsome combined that would be a formidible character

I've got a couple friends that feel the same way. Chances are, we'd all unlock the class, then make a whole team/guild of em. Just tear stuff up.
F2P should never have happened. If they would have put it back on the shelves in stores even at $20 and put ads on TV for it they'd have more people playing.
As for the races....Shifters definately and Changlings or Kalashtar. Half-Orcs will be pretty cool but the Half-Elves....sigh....hohum....boring IMO.
As for Druids...they were supposed to bring those out YEARS ago. Still waiting on them.
